...broad, well-woofed welcome mat. In New York Harbor's Gravesend Bay, the new Holland-America liner Rotterdam met the Dutch destroyer Gelderland, transferred a special passenger: plumply pretty Princess Beatrix, 21, heiress presumptive to the throne of The Netherlands. Under cloudbursts of ticker tape, she was driven up lower Broadway, incidentally passing over the site where marooned Dutch sailors spent the winter of 1613 as the first white inhabitants of Manhattan.

At National Airport, when President Eisenhower greeted them, at a formal White House dinner, after a Manhattan ticker-tape parade, their smiles came naturally and easily and their moods were clearly carefree. A 45-minute conference with Ike stretched Lemus' smile even wider. Ike told him, said Lemus, that the U.S. was considering "with sympathy" the establishment of U.S. import quotas for coffee that is piled mountain-high...
